My system "8track" is a Via CN10000 Mini-ITX board built inside an old 8 track player case. It has
- 1GB of DDR2 RAM,
- a 30 GB Toshiba drive borrowed from a Toshiba Magnia SG20
- a Morex 60 watt automotive power supply
Power options include using either an old HP Omnibook 800 laptop power supply or a 12 volt gel cell. At the Solar CREEK booth at DaVinci Days, I ran it on a solar panel and a 120 vac inverter.
I can plug it into any convenient monitor and keyboard. At DaVinci days, I used an Acer 15" display and a PS/2 keyboard and mouse. The monitor ran off the inverter, too. I plugged in stereo speakers and connected to the Solar CREEK web site via a wireless link.
The HP power supply puts out about 35 watts and it had no trouble running this machine in the above configuration. I measured output of the supply and found it takes about 10 watts to run.
